LAMINATION ADHESIVES FOR TISSUE & TOWEL
BUILT TO PERFORM AND RELEASE CLEANLY

Keeping a tissue or towel line running clean takes more than speed—it takes control. When the adhesive runs too thin, pickup fails, and rolls loosen. When it grabs too hard, tails tear and cleanup slows everything down.

Capital adhesives are designed to keep that balance steady. Each formula maintains its viscosity through long runs, applies evenly, and releases cleanly so you get tight winds, clean tails, and fewer stoppages.

Our water-based products stay stable under pressure, resist slinging and buildup, and rinse off easily at the end of a shift. Plus, every batch is made to order, ISO-certified, and shipped quickly so your lines stay productive and your operators stay focused on production, not maintenance.

Reliable, clean, and consistent. That’s how every roll should run.

COMMON TISSUE & TOWEL ADHESIVE ISSUES

FORMULATED TO REMEDY
ANY ADHESIVE ISSUE

Adhesive issues show up first on the floor: residue, rejects, or wasted cleanup time. Our formulas target the cause, not just the symptom.

Slinging / Splashing

Adhesive builds up on rollers, forcing cleanup and downtime. Controlled viscosity keeps adhesive where it belongs, not across your line.

Tailing / Stringing

Stringing can cause scrap and sticky messes. Stable viscosity that stays consistent prevents stringing.

Excessive Paper Tearing

Too-tacky tail tie adhesive rips sheets when opened. The right tack holds firmly yet releases cleanly for a better customer experience.

COMMON TISSUE & TOWEL TYPES

ADHESIVES FOR EVERY PART OF TISSUE & TOWEL CONVERTING

Every part of tissue and towel converting depends on precision. Our adhesives stay consistent from the first pickup to the final tail tie, keeping production steady and cleanup light.
